Hi Unregistered,

I don't get your point either? I mean I highly doubt it's dragon either but it wouldn't throw things out of whack really; If Xerneas happens to be more defensive, it could very well make up for that otherwise psychic types(assuming it is one) are pretty strong as well and have great movepools. Who's also to say that it wouldn't have any ice-type moves? Considering we have pokes like Rhyperior, who seem to have some of the most off/random moves like Ice Beam, I'm more than sure a legendary could pass.

That's like complaining about Groudon/Kyogre not having dragon types like Rayquaza(even though it's supposed to calm them down, it looks like we're talking competitively here, so I consider that good enough to point it out). You can whoop Rayquaza with either and vice versa.

Yep, it doesnt have to be dragon to be superior.
But I doubt it would be psychic too.

Resistance to Ground and Fighting, weak against Steel, Rock,Fire and Psychic. Would it be Physically defensive or Specially defensive?

Actually, I think it would still be weak to Ground, too. Poison's weak to ground and as far as I know, Ice takes neutral damage, so it's still weak to it. It would have 5 weaknesses and either be a speedy, phsyical monster so as to at least take somethings about before being revenge killed, or a tank to sponge some hits and do support/status damage through poison or Hail.

no
i am sick of dragon legendaries
and with that typing Xerneas would get an upper hand
i think that Yveltal will be dark/flying and Xerneas will be psychic/electric to match up with the germ layer theory

yes it would still be weak to ground...along with probably a lot of other things
ice is the worst defensive typing

As much as I don't believe the latest rumors, I'd LOVE for the legendaries based on cards to be true. I'd also like them to keep the legendary numbers low for this generation and future generations... Gen 3 had the perfect amount of legendaries imo.

I saw the Mr. XY stuff, and I must say it's really impressive. I still think it's fake though, but the typings for Xerneas and Yveltal mkae sense. So I think for Xerneas: Psychic/Rock, Psychic/Steel, Psychic/Ice and for Yveltal: Ghost/Flying, Dark/Flying, Ghost/Dark. I really don't think now it's part Fire at this point.

I would like to see a tiger or dragon or the "Z" legendary. Hopefully there isn't an access of Dragon-type legendaries. Hopefully one or two at most.

I agree with you, having legendaries based on the French playing card suits would be pretty cool in my opinion. Although it's just a rumor, I'm kind of hoping that this is true.

With Xerneas being Psychic/Rock, Yveltal being Ghost/Flying, and the evil team based on changing the past (according to the Mr. XY rumor), I'm thinking that Xerneas represents the future (Psychic), while Yveltal represents the past (Ghost). Then again, it's still just a rumor, and I shouldn't be thinking about those things in-depth like this. :P

With mewtwo in the movie and stuff and xy's theme supposedly about genetics, I can't help but think Mewtwo and Mew may be referenced in the main part of the story. Maybe the experiments done by Blaine, Fuji and Team Rocket are elaborated upon ? This game might be a prequel to Gen 1.
I'm just speculating here, so, I don't know.

eh i don't think so that is an interesting idea but i don't see that happening
otherwise Yveltal would have been in earlier gens

Prequel to gen 1???
O.0
This is an epic idea.
They could finally expand upon the creation of Mewtwo, 'Guyana', 'South America','mew gave birth',mr fuji, dr fuji, cinnabar island and heaven knows what not...All the mysteries of Gen One, the best generation ever! Coming full circle!

Exactly, I just want an epic story here.
Maybe the male protags of xy could be the Red's father and your rival could be Blue's father ? Maybe we get to see Oak as a young guy and also get to see the enmity between him and Bertha. Expand on the stuff between Giovanni and Silver and tell us why Giovanni is evil. Oh and throw in a bit of Hoenn as well, since the events of Kanto and Hoenn are supposed to take place at the same time.

For me, These Yveltal typings are okay. Yveltal somehow reminds me of Darkrai.
And Xerneas, Xerneas looks like a weird but nice combo of Virizion, Keldeo, Sawsbuck and Dialga.
I'm sure they have to do with chromosomes it's obvious.
Using X and Y (and Z) as 2D or 3D coordinates would tie in with Palkia's space theme.
I hope Xerneas and Yveltal have a bit to do with gems, but that's old, too.
